I have to admit that this channel is becoming one my favorite concerning film photography. Solid content as usual and entertaining too as always. Cheers from France.

Brian Long nice magic trick 😀

[@nathanpeacock7651]

We’re really being treated with the uploads at the moment Roger!

[@tedsmith_photography]

Nice one Roger. I've not been very original but I started a "our family in lockdown during Coronavirus Quarantine" session where I intended to take one photo a day. Just family snaps etc for us and the kids to look back on when all this over. In 10 or 20 years, it will be quite something for the kids to have I think. Although "1 photo a day" soon became nearly "1 roll a day"!! I've shot 3 rolls of 120 in the last 5 days.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Making the best of it with memories Ted. Nice one.

[@silva-anderida7695]

You've proved,with a relatively modern film,the rule that is often applied to much older film types.One stop over exposure per decade.Really interesting.Thanks.

[@teleaddict23]

I’ve just shot this film brand new and I really love the results, very nice fine grain. No one ever need shoot a roll of this from 1996.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

It's a good film

[@ey9849]

Thanks mate for sharing your knowledge with the community. Looking forward to more star trail photos

[@paulstevenson200]

Absolutely superb. You are a talented guy. Very enjoyable. Many thanks.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thankyou. 👍

[@filmismorefun]

I had never heard of solarizing prints before this, pretty neat. I also preferred the shot with the back light, I think it gave the flower more dimension. Cool stuff.

[@toniskokovic]

Roger - great videos, just what we all need to get us out of our "meh" mode and escape to photography. Always feel inspired to shoot, develop and print after watching one of your clips. Thank you! Stay safe, healthy and sane!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks Toni.

beautiful prints, I also really like the wide mat border and the way you positioned a square image at the upper portion of the paper, just all came together to make something really special.

Great video, Roger. I watched this while scanning in a roll of Ilford Ortho 80 I developed today.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I have a roll of that, 35mm. Nice film!

[@voyagersquaremuzika]

Great photographs!

[@adamcrawshaw589]

Thanks a lot for your informative and entertaining videos, I recently got started with printing and I've learnt a lot here. Keep up the good work! I'd be really interested to know more about how you shot and printed those light trials!

[@J4060]

Great content.

[@YoYoYo]

Great video. Would like to see more star trails in the future.

[@BillPutnamPhoto]

Great video. I've been metering like this with some Agfa 25 b/w 120 that expired in January 1992. Will use stand development on it. It's rated at ISO 25 but since it expired 25 years ago (I was still in high school!) I metered it at ISO 6. Should get similar results to your overexposed shots.

[@mauricioalchundiasegovia8355]

1996 is FRESH film for me ! Ha ha !! You should have stopped down more at that distance not f4 but f8 or f11 then it would have been sharper.

Enjoyed the star trails photo. What was the exposure information please? I've done them with digital but never tried film.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

3 hour exposure Kevin. f11, 400 film. From my garden. The lens would slightly mist over though.

[@kevinmclaughlin7350]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Thanks Roger. I just finished reading your full writeup on Patreon. If I ever get clear skies here I'll have to give it a try.

I like the startrails one... Did you do a video on that one? If so, I must have missed it (damnit).

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

No I havnt. It was literally sour of the moment. I may in future on another clear night

[@andrewfrost8866]

Goodness, I haven’t solarised a print since 1978!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Sometimes I get interesting results. Any tips Andrew?

[@andrewfrost8866]

I was only 15 😮 I didn’t gave particularly good results and eventually gave up 😩

[@richardstollar4291]

Impressive light trails - did you make a video about it? You should! f16-ish? ND Filter? curious because you didn't over expose the foreground at all. Nice :)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

It was in my back garden. In the summer it's hours after sunset which means setting an alarm to wak up At 3am to close the shutter. Now it's winter it's better as you can start a trail at 6pm and finish a few hours later but cars can drive past with headlights on. I need to pluck up. The courage to invest in driving to a location and camping in the car for hours waiting for exposure. Good fun though

[@richardstollar4291]

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Night photography can be fun - I have some great shots but like you said, it means staying up late which is not so much fun.

[@iainmc9859]

Yep trying to keep busy, Okay, a film development question. Hopefully your good self or somebody else will know what I did wrong, 'cos I did something very very wrong. First time developing Colour 120 film (Ektar 100), followed exactly the same procedure as my C-41 35mm and came out with a totally clean pinkish red result; not a hint of anything on the negs. I don't think its the camera, shutter is working and film is winding on. My pre-wash came out a glorious shade of Deep Purple, serious heavy metal coloured, so I knew something wasn't right. I can only think of two possible fault options - either my pre-wash was too hot. I use the hot tap but its not effected my 35mm negs before, or my developer is exhausted. Its maybe both but exhausted developer doesn't explain the deep purple pre-wash. It just looks like the film was washed clean. Any ideas of how I balls it up so badly would be gratefully appreciated.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Peter Elgar is your man for colour Iain.

[@buchsg]

The purple tint is the antihalation backing... it’s here to protect from light reflection going through the film reflecting on the back paper, making a halo on you neg ( famous film for this effect is the cinestill as they remove the remjet layer, acting like antihalation layer) So nothing went wrong with your pre wash, I think your developer must be exhausted, or you fix it before developing it

[@DarkAngelEU]

Gave up photography for now and been working on my writing skills. There's no point in photographing my freezer for um-tenth time and my cat just sleeps all day so the cute poses have ran out even before the lockdown.

[@KptnHaddock_]

Today I left the house, I simply had to. Avoiding social contact, I took with me my Super Ikonta with a Roll of film in it and aimed to shoot some landscapes. I loaded that film last week and since I usually shoot hp5 I treated it as such. Turns out it was the one roll of Delta 100 I owned and naturally, I feel like an idiot. Now, everybody on the Internet seems to think that pushing delta 100 is a terrible idea so my question would be, is that true? and If you had to, how would you go about it? Love your videos and these days I love them even more. Greetings from quarantined Switzerland and hang tight!

[@Ethaningramphoto]

You can push it. It’ll get rather contrasty. Delta is a fairly flat film to start with and won’t be too bad. You’ll get some useable images still.

[@mike747436]

I’ve shot it at 200 and didn’t see any reduction in quality on a 11”x14” print (120 film).

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I don't think I have ever pushed it. I wouldn't worry if I was shooting street or anything rustic such as buildings where grain wouldn't matter but landscapes I'd be expecting grain in the sky. I found this link out of curiosity. www.flickr.com/photos/tags/Ilford%20Delta%20100@400/

Who the hell is the one who presses dislike in each and everyone of your videos?

To properly solarize a print you will need a beautiful female assistant and a Rat in the darkroom.

Another interesting 'shortie' Roger. If you don't like the 'farts', try using a Thiourea toner instead. Near identical results, but with no smell at all: home.alphalink.com.au/~simgrant/jackspcs/tct.htm Stay safe my friend!
